Harper, Maryland County — In a country where women's voices are often overshadowed, UN Women continues to stand out as one of Liberia's strongest allies in amplifying the voices of rural women and promoting gender equality.

That commitment was once again demonstrated over the weekend when the National Rural Women of Liberia, comprising representatives from all 15 counties, converged in Harper, Maryland County, to celebrate International Rural Women's Day.

The two-day event, held from October 15-16, 2025, under the theme "National Rural Women: Stewards of the Land, Resilient Tomorrow," featured a grand parade through Harper City, followed by an indoor program at the Harper City Hall.
